More mechanical trouble for BP: The latest plan to saw off a ‘riser’ pipe roughly a mile under the sea on Wednesday hit a snag when a diamond-tipped saw became stuck after slicing through about half of the blown-out oil well pipe. It took BP 12 hours to free the saw, and the company hopes to use giant shears similar to an oversized garden tool to snip off the pipe.

AT&T has ended its unlimited data plans. Now, iPhone and iPad users are going to have to pay by the amount of data they consume. If you watch too much video on your 3G iPad, you are going to get billed for it. On the other hand, AT&T also announced that it will now allow you to tether your computer to your iPhone, so you won't have to purchase a separate wireless card.
But, the same limited data plan fees will apply.
The release of Rick Warren’s new book, The Hope You Need, has been delayed indefinitely. In a statement by publisher Zondervan, Warren needs time to focus on other projects at the moment. The book is based on an eight-part sermon series on the Lord’s Prayer that Warren delivered last year at Saddleback Church in Southern California. Warren’s earlier book, The Purpose Driven Life, is the best-selling hard-cover book in history.

Umpire Blows Pitcher's Perfect Game: You got to give it to umpire Jim Joyce -- it was a gutsy call. He called a Cleveland Indians base runner safe even though he was out, keeping Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga from having a perfect game.
